One of my neighbors was yelling, "birds, birds, birds" in my dorm room on a typical day at
UW-LaX in the seventies. I'd show you the Polaroid if my scanner worked or if I had more energy. Yup, I took it with a
Polaroid camera.

| I know this is a chickadee because Google Image told me so |
These weren't taken with a Polaroid, but wouldn't it be cool if I still had my old one and it still worked?
 |
| Don't worry, honey, if these morons keep it up we'll have it all to ourselves |
I got out my semi-ancient Canon and leave it in the car now, the way I'd do in severe weather or a pending apocalypse.

I think of my college friend—who was playing with a
Fli-Back paddle ball at the time—when I snap a bird pic and need a title.
I love birds. I miss going to our marina and seeing all the birds. I hope we can go soon.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and weekend. ♥
I bet you do, so you can't get out for exercise or is the marina off limits?
DeleteWell of course we always like to bird watch here!
ReplyDeleteI'm beginning to see the fascination, Brian.
DeleteHello, I like your photos and the titles. Cute! The Chickadee is cute, I love the seron on the nest and the curbside Crane. Take care! Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend. PS, thanks for the comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteIt was an adorable little Chickadee and hanging out in my quiet place which is extra quiet now that it's closed down.
DeleteI'm glad for the cameras we have so that we can take LOTS of photos! Love your birds and cute captions! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYes, I feel okay about always having this camera with me because it takes an okay photo and is very old and not worth much. Hugs to you too!
DeleteHello. Lovely post. Thank you. Take care.
ReplyDeleteHi Anu, thank you and please take care of yourself as well.
DeleteI have a bunch of old photos taken with my old analog camers. Not great but full of memories. I like your birds!
ReplyDeleteI can't make myself get rid of my analog cameras. This is an old digital and worth a fraction of what I paid for it, but can still take a picture.
DeleteWonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nikki-ann, you found some good book choices.
DeleteI use Google search images a lot to identify birds and plants. - Margy
ReplyDeleteThat's nice to know, Margy. There are so many bird watchers out there who really know their stuff.
Deletewhoops I did not see your msg about not putting a link in my comment. I basically admired your bird photos especially the crane by the roadside. Stay well and healthy! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful photos and amazing birds, birds, birds!
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of "luck" lately, or you did get the new glasses (lol), so you can see the birds! Great captures! Polaroid - do you mean these old instant camera's? Wow, I never got sharp pics with those! Love tha birds nests image - I think you have found a new niche here! My joyful thanks for linking up to All Seasons (and your always fun comments:):) ) Wishing you a good weather week!
ReplyDeleteI find you have a better chance at getting lucky if you always have your camera, J. I still don't have those new glasses and don't expect to for months. Even if I could, it's not worth it to chance getting my mother sick.
DeleteYeah, I remember getting a Polaroid in the 70s, it was great, but I think the film was expensive. I don't remember very sharp pictures, but I loved having one.
The weather was too nice for me, lol. I prefer it in the mid-40s like it was today. Hope you're staying safe and creative.
Curbside Pick Up, love that title and photo, Jeanna. The parents bought a Polaroid in the late 60s, which the brother hogged and lost. It was a nifty, but cumbersome, thing. I bet you got amazing photos with those Kodak Instamatics. Take care, Missy.
ReplyDeleteP.S. The walnuts were cracked for snacking, adding to smoothies, and topping cereal.
That bird was putting on a show before he dined on worm tartare. Maybe it was dinner theater. He was jumping up and down like another bird I saw on TV who seemed to do it for an audience.
DeleteAch, siblings, glad my sister never showed any interest in photography. I don't know if I had a Kodak Instamatic, but probably. I remember those cube flashes, remember those things?
Mmmm, walnuts. Reminds me of that Danny Thomas alien walnut episode of Dick Van Dyke. A great idea to add to smoothies.
Nice bird shots!
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking part in the "My Sunday Best" meme.
